Last night I dreamed that I couldn’t get out of my house because my caricatures were protesting outside. My caricatures had organized a rally and they had congregated from all over the world to protest against my casual attitude towards them. They were holding placards that read “The Caricaturist has let us down”, “We want her out!”, “It’s our blog!”, “She’s turned against us!”…and so on!
Guess I’ve been keeping busy with drawing portraits and dreaming about meeting Leonardo da Vinci in person. But that Caricature Rally jolted me back to my senses, and I drew a caricature.
Coming up Next – IS the CARICATURE of a PORTRAIT – The Mona Lisa (also called Monalisa) by the arto-scientific genius Leonardo da Vinci 🙂
For all of you who’ve boarded the Caricature Express recently, here’s the caricature of the Master, drawn from his self-portrait.
Monalisa's Creator - Leonardo da Vinci!
I’ll meet you at the next station with Monalisa’s caricature and the true explanation of her smile!

Ummmmm, I bet there is someone else who has a better head of hai….hair that is actually insured. And he just happens to be one of the great football players on the Pittsburgh Steelers football team….check out one of his videos for Head and Shoulders Shampoo.
Now that’s a head of hair….Troy Polamalu…..hope he stays healthy for the Super Bowl! Go Steelers !

Mr. Polamalu’s got beautiful hair (though the gist of the commercial escaped me:))
Go Steelers! Where’s my Terrible Towel?

Oh…and I forgot. His hair is really insured?! I wish that someday my left hand will have built up an insurance policy not only for itself but also for me:)

First portrait of 2011 and it’s of the master – the jack of all trades! 🙂 Nice caricature Shafali but why Leonardo is frowning? Would you leave a self-portrait like him? And yes I want myself caricatured by you. Tell me when you’re free. 😀

Jack of all trades? Who? Da Vinci? He was Master of all trades, my dear Ajay:) Remember that we still use his inventions:) Leonardo’s frown possibly is about all the money that should’ve been his in his lifetime, but which wasn’t. Free? Me? Only in death 😦

Somehow I like this dude now! No kidding, his frown is more pleasant, and his beard.. so well kept and combed.. I love it 😉
Great portrait Shafali!! Now, I think you should draw a self portrait with a frown, then the caricatures which are protesting will realize how ‘non-casual’ you are while caricaturing.. 😀

Self-portrait…I did the last one when I was sixteen:) Never again!
I know, his beard looks so well-kept. He could’ve been the brand ambassador for L’oreal if he lived today.
